• Manufacturer Part Number: AT89C51IC2-RLTIM
• Description: 8-bit Flash Microcontroller with 2-wire Interface
• Manufacturer: ATMEL [ATMEL Corporation]

Functional Description
Software Security Bits (SSB)
4301C–8051–06/06
The SSB protects any Flash access from ISP command.
The command "Program Software Security bit" can only write a higher priority level.
There are three levels of security:
•
This is the default level.
From level 0, one can write level 1 or level 2.
•
For this level it is impossible to write in the Flash memory, BSB and SBV.
The Bootloader returns ’P’ on write access.
From level 1, one can write only level 2.
•
The level 2 forbids all read and write accesses to/from the Flash/EEPROM memory.
The Bootloader returns ’L’ on read or write access.
Only a full chip erase in parallel mode (using a programmer) or ISP command can reset
the software security bits.
From level 2, one cannot read and write anything.
